Collection includes six detailed letters, some illustrated, to his mother, commenting on the economics of the art world, his relations with dealers, his views on art, and the sale and exhibition of work (1850-1887); two letters to Edouard Detaille mentioning Harpignies' activity as a watercolorist (1889-1891); nine letters to the cellist Delsart (1883-1911); and another letter to an unknown correspondent describing his lack of interest in experimenting with new paints (1896). Letters received include two from his mother reflecting on her son's vocation and seventeen letters from 1875 congratulating the artist on receiving the Legion of Honor.
